God Damn it MS
I’m sorry, is this an AI Generated keyboard…?
Not saying it isn’t, but if the reason why you’re saying that is because of the z/y key, I know one of the EU layouts swaps it. German I think?
Yes, a German keyboard has swapped the letter Z and Y (and some other differences). Maybe this is a keyboard that shows both so more people can use it.
Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.
Mints great. I like POPos myself but its all good.
Guys, what’s the best Linux distro to install on my PC?
The community:
Yea it’s funny I’ve asked the community before whats the best Linux distro for XYZ and have had all sorts of responses. It took running mint, manjaro, ubunto, pop, tried arch, to figure out that it’s a ridiculous question. The community can only help you pick one to start with, but given there’s 3 real bases and thousands of choices off each base it’s quite frankly up to preference for the most part what Linux distro will work best for you!
Distro chooser is a thing. Or was. I’m not being able to open the site right now.
From that point forward, it is up to the user to decide how much or little they want or need.
Yep im guilty of that.
Honestly as long as theare using some kind of *nix im happy.
There’s no one size fits all for picking a distro, it’s up to the user.
Except arch, arch is perfect

I love when people try to criticize this. They cant imagine having options.
I’m thrilled for seeing my RAM idle at half the amount it did when I was on Windows. Loving Mint… or any debian distro for that matter.
In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.
Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.
Yes! Our recent Linux Mint software update drama was some nice new quality of life improvements coming to the next version of KDE Plasma.
Watching Windows 11 unfold from this side has been like sipping a cup of hot tea on the porch, wearing a good jacket, during a rain storm, while holding the storm door open for folks coming in out of the bad weather.
I nuked my win11 installation a week ago and went with cachyos (it’s arch btw) and I just feel like; even if mslop fixes their shit, I wont go back.
Woah, Arch users scares me, the way you meet someone that is much taller!
How is your time so far with the new OS? Lots of new things and issues?
Ive used arch on a few servers so it feels homey even if I’ve never used a wm before. Most issues has been small and solvable.
On the one hand this is getting old, we know MS shit the bed and it’s gonna be MS copilot featuring Windows soon.
On the other,… man is this a spectacular way to run a company into the ground 🤣
Ok, we could put this into the category of W8 with its tile system. They try something new, it backfires, back to square one. (The menu button moves back to the lower left corner). But I dunno, despite there already being rumours an option to fully disable copilot “rolled out to administrators” soon.
I don’t think they’ll just try and sweep this one under the rug as quickly after all this disastrous doubling down.
I’m trying to think of a time when I thought “oh, if only I had an IA assistant in my file manager”…
Well you see, if you thought windows search was bad at finding files in the folder you already had opened when you starting searching for them before…
I have to say it’s probably the only way you’ll ever get any kind of bulk rename out of a Microsoft OS.
Install Linux Problem Solved
Let’s face it. Windows search couldn’t find shit before - what’s a few more hallucinations?
If I need to run some bespoke piece of software that doesn’t run on wine or a VM of older windows - I’ll find an alternative. I’ll leave Microsoft to its oily rags and matches.
Microsoft did this with Internet Explorer and Windows 98; they make IE the shell for file explorer so as to ensure IE could never be removed.
To the top. History is repeating itself.
Those who do learn history are doomed to bear the consequences of the FUCK wads who don’t.
Dual-booting Win 11 and Bazzite while I figure out the flow for myself and whether I can shove off into the deep end without Win 11.
If you enjoy gaming or steam-related apps, Bazzite comes kitted out with most of what you’ll need to be successful out the gate.
Aside from EAC-based games, I’ve found a lot of my games just run better without the Win 11 bloat in the background.
Exploring Windows alternatives has never been easier in my opinion.
Bazzite is great. I’m even able to do low latency wireless streaming of Beat Saber to my Quest 3 using Alvr, though I do get occasional crashes (AMD 9060xt)
Steam Link also works really well as for low latency streaming to Quest in my experience on my Quest 2.
Wasn’t it bad enough, already? Did they already exhaust all other ways to make it worse?
Jokes on them i replaced explorer with Directory Opus years ago… The only piece of software i miss on linux its perfect
I used to have that on the Amiga.
Just put fedora on an old dell laptop and it recognized the dual nvidia and intel cards out of the box 🥳
I thought the user backlash would be enough to correct MS’s course (like with Win 8) but their leadership has this pissbrained belief that people will change their mind or just accept this bullshit as inevitable. This is going to be a fucking disaster for them that they’ll never truly recover from.
Yup, never gonna run Win11
What, you mean it wasn’t there already ? It’s the only place where it would be actually useful.
I’m sorry…
Helpful???
You would hope, but knowing how competent copilot is, it’s just going to turn out like this:
User:
I’m running out of space, can you help me clean up?AI:
Sure thing, I can help with that. You have some programs that haven’t been opened since 2017. Would you like me to delete them?User:
YesAI: OK, let me do that for you.
I apologize, but as an AI Agent, I am not allowed to delete files or uninstall programs automatically. You can remove them yourself, however. I have created the cleanup.txt file on your desktop, which you can run by renaming the file to cleanup.bat, right-clicking on it, and selecting “Run as administrator”.
User:
Thank you, I did that but it only freed up a little bit of space. Can you find more?Error processing request: 0xC3E9A005.
Unable to connect to copilot agent service:
The system can not find the module specified: “kernel32.dll”
soon there be some news about copilot deleting user files
